Goroka Show gets kudos

By MALUM NALU

Eastern Highlands Agricultural Society has given the thumbs up to Goroka Show committee, sponsors, farmers and the community for the successful staging of the 55th Goroka Show and 36th independence anniversary.

"In the cultural exhibits, the attractions were the Eastern Highlands Cultural Centre from Kainantu, Zumin (Markham) Pottery and individual craftsmen and artists who sold their arts and craft and paintings.

"The EHAS Inc as the legal body of the Goroka Show organising committee, people of Goroka and Eastern Highlands, commend the Prime Minister's various policy statements on free education and NATSCHOL, law and order and road infrastructure development; and also appreciated the various K5 million government funding for Goroka Town roads, Goroka Secondary School, Goroka mobile clinic, National Sports Institute/showground development totalling K20 million and K10 million committed to Goroka Base Hospital.

"We also appreciate the K0.7 million grant to the Goroka Show committee, based on short, medium and long-term plans submitted to the national government.

"The EHAS is optimistic that we will be involved with the various stakeholders in the upgrade of the showground to facilitate the aspirations of the Goroka Show.

"There were many tourists from Europe, USA and Australia who appreciated and commended the Goroka Show Committee for the event."
